Chapter 1 – Introduction
1.1 Product Overview
The Luna™ automated cell counter is a small, fast, and affordable image-based cell counting device that automatically counts various kinds of cells for research use.
The Luna™ automated cell counter helps you measure the number as well as viability of cells (live, dead, total cells) with sophisticated optical components and advanced image analysis algorithm. Due to several innovations introduced by Logos Biosystems, Luna™ provides you with the most excellent cell counting experience in the industry, beyond eliminating the tedium and subjectivity of manual cell counting.
You can use the Luna™ automated cell counter in a very simple procedure. First, mix 10 ml of your sample with 10 ml of trypan blue stain. Second, load the cell suspension into the Luna™ cell counting slide. Third, insert the slide into the slide port of the instrument and adjust the focus knob to get an appropriate cell image. Last, press the “Count” button and the results of cell count and viability will be displayed on the screen. The counting image can be downloaded onto a USB drive in TIF format for future use.
The Luna™ automated cell counter provides the data below.
l Number of live and dead cells / ml
l Number of total cells / ml
l Viability percentage (% live cells to total cells)
l Cell images (showing live cells as green circles and dead cells as red circles)
l Histogram of cell size distribution
The Luna™ cell counting chamber slide is disposable and specifically designed for the Luna™ automated cell counter. Each counting slide has 2 chambers, labeled as A and B, that you can use for the same sample or for 2 different samples.
Key features of the Luna™ automated cell counter are as follows:
Key features | Description |
Small footprint | Due to its minimal dimension (22 cm x 21 x 8.5 cm) & weight (1.2 kg), you can put it into your clean bench or biosafety cabinet for convenient counting. |
Accuracy & precision | Due to its sophisticated optical component and brilliant counting algorithm, LUNA™ cell counter provides optimized and reproducible counting results every time, compatible or better than other methods. |
Easy-to-operate user interface | The intuitive user interface based on a touch screen enables extremely easy operation. |
Shortest time-to-results | Within 7 sec. after pressing the counting button, you can have the counting results for most cell lines, which is the fastest in the industry. |
Innovative counting slide | LUNA™ cell counter adopts an innovative counting slide made by “T-bond” technology without using hazardous organic solvent. |
Cell concentration & viability range | Cell counts can be measured for cells at concentrations within the 5x104~ 1x107cells/ml range and for cells within the 3~60 mm diameter range. |
Easy-to-use dilution calculator | You can easily calculate dilution concentration from a built-in calculator. |
Setup & maintenance | Just plug in and it will be ready for use, with virtually no maintenance cost ever. |
Counting image transfer | The counting image can be downloaded onto a USB drive in TIFF (Tag Image File Format) for later use or review. |
Individual protocol saving | Each researcher can set and adjust counting parameters such as cell size and save the counting protocol for later use. |
Automatic reporting | Luna™ cell counter provides a counting report based on the count results in PDF (Portable Document Format) immediately after performing a cell count. |
